A/HRC/8/6 page 21 calls on governments and others concerned to authorize and facilitate speedy, unhindered access to displaced persons on the part of providers of humanitarian assistance, in accordance with the Guiding Principles. 84. The Representative is particularly interested in the fate of displaced persons in the context of peacebuilding. Several of the missions and working visits he has organized have revealed that displaced persons often prefer return to and integration in their places of origin, and the Representative has also observed that the way in which durable solutions to displacement are implemented has a considerable impact on the sustainability of peace. He points out, firstly, that return - or any other solution to the problem of displacement - must be the result of a voluntary individual decision, taken without coercion, on the basis of adequate information. Secondly, he points out that at least three conditions must be met if the return of displaced persons to their homes and their reintegration are to be durable: the assurance of physical safety during and after return; the restitution of property and the reconstruction of homes; and the creation of an economic and social environment conducive to return. 85. In this context, the Representative wishes to make the following recommendations to governments, which should endeavour: (a) To guarantee the physical safety of returnees; (b) To create an independent mechanism for monitoring during and after return; (c) To set up machinery for the restitution of property which takes into account both the written law and traditional rules concerning property; (d) delay; To give returnees back their documents without discrimination and without (e) To guarantee returnees access, without discrimination, to public services, livelihoods and income-generating activities. 86. The Representative recommends that governments and the international community should embark in parallel on various activities related to early recovery, in such areas as security, reconstruction and development, so as to ensure the durable reintegration of returnees and respect for their rights. 87. The Representative recommends that the international community should give further thought to the machinery for financing early recovery programmes, so as to ensure a smooth transition between the emergency phase and the development phase. Such machinery is often ignored when resources are concentrated on humanitarian or development issues. -----
